Review of SSSS.Gridman
Thicc thighs couldn't save this anime. No spoilers Disclaimer: I watched this series drunk I had low expectations of this anime. The only reason I watched it was because I kept seeing the hype of Rikka Takarada's thighs. Yes, they were THICC. Yes, I was impressed. No, it wasn't the main focus of the anime. But it should've been. Going in with low expectations, I was genuinely surprised of how good the animation and soundtrack was. I thought CGI robots fighting CGI monsters in an animated landscape would suck. It turns out it was pretty great. (At least in the beginning) AND THAT OPENING SONG. That songslaps, HARD.
The first half of the anime was pretty decent. I really enjoyed the fight scenes. The story had enough mystery to keep me interested, but gave me enough insight so I wasn't completely confused. And I listened to the opening song every time, which is a rare occurrence.
However, during the second half of the anime, my enjoyment began to decline. The fights weren't as fun to watch. I don't know if it was because they just weren't as cool as the ones in the beginning or because I just became used to the repetitive similar fights that happened in almost every episode.
The story itself became really confusing. It was still interesting, but kind of hard to follow.
The ending was pretty rushed in my opinion. But, I definitely called that ending.
Anyway, it was an alright anime. I would watch it because the fights were pretty great early on. And the thighs too. AND THAT OP
